Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Felix Epenetov showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eduard Leh in the 6th minute of the match. 7 minutes had been played when some careless play by West Bromwich FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Vladislav Delarov was slow to take the kick. During this time Coulsdon AFC's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Vladislav Delarov got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Felix Epenetov quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Konstantin Saveliev recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 16 played minutes Coulsdon AFC got a freekick which was hit by Evgeniy Zozulin. Ippolit Korolev kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. In the 19th minute of the match Nil Larichev shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Evgeniy Petrov showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 21 minutes into the match, Coulsdon AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Artur Smetanin came free, but Evgeniy Petrov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Artur Smetanin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Evgeniy Petrov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 31st minute, West Bromwich FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Stanislav Chugunov fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Konstantin Saveliev received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Evgeniy Petrov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Coulsdon AFC's Eduard Leh in the 39th minute got a chance for a shot 39th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye West Bromwich FC's goalie prevented a goal. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Artur Smetanin made a kick off. Konstantin Savelievs short, quick shot in the 61stth minute got Evgeniy Petrov to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Artur Smetanin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Evgeniy Petrov having to interfere. Artur Smetanin was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 70th minute. West Bromwich FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. It seemed to be an obvious goal in the 71st minute, but Evgeniy Petrov got his fingers on the ball or the save, leaving Coulsdon AFC hanging dry this time. Eduard Leh blasted a shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Felix Epenetov having to make a save. Stanislav Chugunov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Eduard Leh received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Felix Epenetov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 86 minutes into the match, West Bromwich FC's goal looked a bit too open when Eduard Leh came free, but Felix Epenetov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Stanislav Chugunov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 95th minute Stanislav Chugunov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Felix Epenetov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Stanislav Chugunov in the 95th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Felix Epenetov prevented the ball from getting in the gole. For all the effort they put into the match, the West Bromwich FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Coulsdon AFC.
